Answer:

4 stations

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to be at least 98% certain that an enemy plane flying over will be detected by at least one station, we must ensure that there is at most a 2% chance that no radar stations detect the plane.

The probability that a single radar station does not detect the plane is 0.35.

For n radar stations:

P=0.02=0.35^n\\n=\frac{log(0.02)}{log(0.35)}\\n=3.73

Rounding up to the next whole station, at least 4 stations are needed.

Question # 13

Answer:

The required equation for the given function is <em>y = 4sin(x/2+2π/3) -2 , as shown attached graph diagram.</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation: </em>

As the general sine function is given by

y=asin(bx+c)+d.......[A]

  • amplitude = a
  • period = 2π ÷ b
  • Phase shift = -c ÷ b
  • Vertical shift = d

As in the question,  

  • amplitude = a = 4
  • period = 4π
  • phase shift = -4π/3
  • Vertical shift = d = -2

As  

period = 2π ÷ b  

b = 2π/period

b = 2π/4π ∵ period = 4π

b = 1/2  

Also

Phase shift = -c/b

-4π/3 = -c/b ∵ phase shift = -4π/3

4π/3 = c/b  

c = b × 4π/3  

c = 1/2 × 4π/3  

c = 4π/6  

c = 2π/3

So, putting Amplitude ⇒ a = 4, Vertical shift ⇒ d = -2, b = 1/2 ,  

and c = 2π/3 in Equation [A] would bring us the required equation for the given function.

y=asin(bx+c)+d

y = 4sin(x/2+2π/3)+(-2)

y = 4sin(x/2+2π/3) -2            

<em>Note: The graph is also shown in attached diagram.</em>

                                             Question # 14

<em>Answer:</em>

The required equation for the given function is y = cot(x+π/3)+2, as shown in attached graph diagram.

<em>Step-by-step explanation: </em>

As the general cotangent function is given by

y=acot(bx+c)+d.......[A]

  • amplitude = a
  • period = π ÷ b
  • Phase shift = -c ÷ b
  • Vertical shift = d

As in the question,  

  • period = π
  • phase shift = -π/3
  • Vertical shift = d = 2

As  

period = π ÷ b  

b = π/period

b = π/π ∵ period = 4π

b = 1  

Also

Phase shift = -c/b

-π/3 = -c/b ∵ phase shift = -π/3

π/3 = c/b  

c = b × π/3  

c = 1 × π/3  

c = π/3

So, putting vertical shift ⇒ d = 2, b = 1 and   c = π/3 in Equation [A] would bring us the required equation for the given function.

y=acot(bx+c)+d

y = cot(x+π/3)+2

<em>Note: The graph is also shown in attached diagram.</em>
